Watching My Neighbor Totoro for the first time, the moment when Satsuki steps into the Catbus and sinks into the yielding furry surface of the floor was one of the most jarring (though not unpleasantly so) and unexpected cinematic moments I've ever experienced. I'd been on-board with the film for the house spirits, the totoro, and even for the wailing many-legged Catbus... but the soft yielding interior was where my mind stopped and said "Wuh. Huh. Whoa."posted by Elsa at 5:23 PM on December 5, 2012 [2 favorites]

Just seeing catbus driving around my first year at burning man was the moment I basically squeed with all of my existence and knew I was in a place I loved.posted by flaterik at 7:05 PM on December 5, 2012 [3 favorites]
